On the second day of the second month of the eighth year of Tianwu, 100,000 Ming troops crossed the river in batches from Jiuliancheng and launched an attack on Tieshan.

The Royal Navy's Second Fleet also reached Phi Island by sea and launched an attack from the sea to support the army's operations.

In the first year of Tianwu, the Tatar Qing took the initiative to negotiate peace, and the two sides signed the "Ming and Qing Friendship Treaty", in which Phi Island and Sumeru Island were exchanged by Zhu Cihong for the head of the Qing envoy Niu Jinxing, and now they finally come in handy.

Phi Dao is like an unsinkable aircraft carrier, locking the Iron Mountain to death.

In the face of the sea attack of 100,000 men and horses of the Ming army, Tieshan, an important town at the frontier of the Qing State, was broken by the Ming army in just one hour.

At a small cost of only a dozen killed, the Ming army captured Tieshan, annihilated more than 600 Qing troops, captured 1,000 people, and the rest fled in terror.

Tieshan Fort, in the camp of the Ming army, all kinds of flags fluttered in the wind.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Zhu Youneng, the deputy protector of the Northern Metropolitan Protectorate, laughed.

"Hahaha! The army of Tatar Qing is like a piece of, it looks disgusting, and when you step on it, you are weak and powerless! ”

The generals of the Ming army burst into laughter, and some people said: "The surname of the country, your statement is a little stinky!" ”

Some people also quipped: "The surname of the country, you are also the uncle of the little emperor of Shunzhi, are you so buried in the construction of slaves?" ”

"That baby can also be an emperor?"

Zhu Youneng almost broke the table, and said: "That kid is a puppet, and I don't know if he has been weaned or not!" ”

Li Shaoyou said with a smile: "Such an adult must have been weaned, he still has two stepfathers, and he can't do it constantly!" ”

Everyone will understand, and it will be a joy again.

In the cold land of the northern capital, all the generals were looking forward to the battle to destroy the Qing Dynasty, and everyone was very excited about this expedition.

I only heard Zhu Youneng wipe the thick beard on his chin, smack his lips and said: "Dog, when our brothers enter Shengjing, Lao Tzu will also sleep with Bumu Butai's mother, and be the stepfather of that kid!" ”

Mao Yuanyi, the commander of the North Route Army, stroked his beard and smiled, and also quipped: "I don't know how many times Fulin, this little Jiannu, will have to eat my mother's wine in this life!" ”

Li Shaoyou said meaningfully: "Ponthu is suddenly also interested in the old lady of Bumu Butai, I want to see what this girl looks like!" ”

"Hey, Li Daduhu, you can't rob me, I'll tell you!" Zhu Youneng was a little anxious.

After talking and laughing for a while, he began to get down to business and deploy the battle of storming Xuanzhou.

The soldiers are fast, and everyone knows that the Emperor Taishang is personally driving, and the Tianwu Army and other southern route armies will approach Shengjing, the capital of the Qing Dynasty, from the port of Busan.

Can't let them take the lead and sleep with the old lady of Bumu Butai!

In the end, Mao Yuanyi, the commander of the Northern Route Army, ordered the brigade commander Qi Guangyang to be the vanguard, and led his troops to Xuanzhou to open up the passage into Korea.

......

On the third day of February, 50,000 Qing troops supporting the two towns of Tieshan and Xuanzhou arrived in Xuanzhou one after another.

It was drizzling that day, and the Xingfeng Mountain outside Xuanzhou City was gray and chaotic.

The speed of light in Tieshan fell and the retreat of the Qing army on the front line was so fast that the Eight Banners Army who came to help looked confused, and Nalan Mingzhu was even more convinced.

He not only admired the lightning speed of the Ming army, but also admired the incompetence of the Qing army on the front line.

There were tens of thousands of Eight Banners Army withdrawn from the Iron Mountain defense line, and it can be said that they ran all away, and even the dogs ran out with the Eight Banners Army.

Nalan Mingzhu is very lost, when the battle is about to go, the morale of the Eight Banners Army is getting lower and lower, and the military discipline is sloppy, some of the Eight Banners have become soldiers, do not listen to the command, lack of success, more than defeat, compared to the Eight Banners Army during the Huang Taiji period, it is far behind.

The commander of the Qing army responsible for supporting Xuanzhou was Zu Zerun, the king of Pingnan, who learned from Emperor Tianwu's actions when he was in Pingliao, and cut down several Jialazhangjing who had abandoned their positions to set an example and deter generals.

I have to say that Emperor Tianwu's means of killing the generals were very domineering and effective, Zu Zerun stabilized the situation at once, and the military discipline of all departments has improved significantly.

He took Xuanzhou as the center, deployed defense, took advantage of the complex terrain of the mountains here, occupied the main road, divided the troops to defend, and ambushed the Ming army.

In the early morning of the 4th, the Manchurian Zhenghuang Banner led by Nalan Mingzhu and Suo Etu hurriedly left Xingyue Peak and rushed to the Moon Peak in the southwest.

Just a quarter of an hour ago, Zu Zerun, the commander of the Qing army, received an alarm from the horse probe that a forward battalion of the vanguard of the Ming army had driven towards Xuanzhou, and the main road was Yuefeng.

Zu Zerun wants to ambush the Ming army here, because there is an unknown river there, which is suitable for doing things.

This ambush mission naturally fell on the Manchurian Zhenghuang Banner, which the generals of the Han Army did not like.

The topography of Yuefeng is close to the mountains and water, the trees are dense, and the sky is cloudy, the time and location are suitable for ambush, the only disadvantage is the people!

It wasn't until now that Nalan Mingzhu understood what his soldiers were!

However, he did not want to lose this opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and the current Qing army was at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers and morale, and it was difficult to take advantage of the Ming army head-on, let alone defeat the meritorious service.

The only thing that can take advantage of the advantage is to take advantage of the favorable terrain to catch the dogs off guard, hit them hard, and improve the morale of the Qing army!

Now the most lacking thing in the army of the Qing Dynasty is morale, and the battalions of the Eight Banners can be said to be talking about the change of color against the Ming army.

Nalan Mingzhu wants to use an ambush war to break the shadow that shrouded the hearts of the Qing army soldiers, and also seek political capital for himself!

The 3,000 men and horses of the Yellow Banner of Manchuria dragged the pig's tail one by one, hurried to Yuefeng, occupied the favorable terrain, and the Nalan Pearl, who was familiar with the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", was all arranged, just waiting for the Ming army to throw themselves into the net!

On the surrounding terrain, there was a group of Eight Banner Army wearing uniforms, holding fire guns, lying in strange postures, waiting for the arrival of the Ming army.

It was dark, and after the rain the creek swelled, flooding the mudflats on its banks.

The Qing army, which had been bitten by mosquitoes in the forest for half an hour, finally found the flag of the Ming army in the jungle on the opposite bank.

After a while, groups of Ming infantry armed with pitch-black muskets appeared on the mountain road.

After the rain, the mountain roads were potholed and covered with stagnant water, and ordinary troops could not line up at all, but the advancing Ming army was lined up in a neat line, slowly advancing, seemingly unaffected by the environment.

Nalan Mingzhu knows that these guys may be the elite of the Ming Army!

One of the flagmen was so frightened that he fell into the muddy water, his calves still trembling.

The other Qing soldiers were not much better, some had runny noses, and some began to tremble in their legs and stomachs.

Nalan Mingzhu glared at the flag Ding fiercely, then continued to turn around and lie down on the rock, raising the flint Lu Mi gun in his hand.

The first to appear on the other side of the river was a Ming army squad, which seemed to have dozens of people, and it should be the strength of a sentry, and they were carefully crossing the river under the leadership of a sentry commander.
